Power and weather behind internet outages in Davenport
MidAmerican Energy customers averaged 219 minutes without power in 2024, across 1.27 interruptions each, against 167 minutes for Iowa as a whole. Cable nodes and fiber cabinets run on batteries that last hours, not days, so a long power cut can take internet down even for homes whose own power has returned. See Davenport power outages when both go out together.
Scott County logged 384 storm reports since 2015, most often thunderstorm wind, hail, and tornado. Reports peak in July. Power outages were named in 13 of those storm episodes. Wind, ice and flooding damage poles and buried lines, which is how a storm turns into an internet outage as well as a power outage.
Fiber reports reach 87.4% of Davenport homes, cable 98.7% and copper lines 90.2%. Where fiber runs to the home, a red or blinking LOS light on the optical terminal points to a line problem that a restart will not fix.
